Lexus Smart Card Key (Credit Card Key)
#151
In my experience talking to the dealership about getting a card key or making it work is an exercise in futility. If it was not literally looking them right in the face they didn't have the imagination to think it was possible. I won't tell you how many local dealerships told me the card key was incompatible. It works, just find a dealership to sell it to you, program it yourself and have fun. Everything you need to know is above in my in post or those above mine.
Also, does this mean we can do the same programming of the car the dealers do, or is this only for fobs?
How is the range? If it works within a couple feet that's fine by me, as I only really care about proximity for opening the door or trunk. Not giving up my RFID-blocking wallet.

On a side note I asked lexus to reprogram my card key to my new RC350, but they said the vin wasnt compatible so they didnt try it. Going to go in again and have them give it a shot, since many other members have done the same with success.

Yeah, not so convenient then. Means I'd end up having a different sleeve for the card, which effectively isn't any different from carrying the fob.

[QUOTE=Pittsy;10411436]I literally had to pull my wallet out of my pocket and touch it to the door handle. I couldnt leave it in my pocket or it wouldnt work. Switched to a regular leather wallet and no probs.
Still looking for a NON RFID blocking minimalist wallet... appreciate any recommendations... Amazon would be convenient.
Thanks.

Philadelphia
Anyone in Philadelphia been able to get a dealership to program it? Lexus Thompson and Wilkie both have been saying it can’t be programmed and it’s not compatible, even though I pointed out that parts.Lexus.com says other wise.

Hi guys, I have read through the posts, from what I understand, the only key card with FCC ID "HYQ 14 CBB (312.1-314.35MHz) would work on 3IS???
I got a card with FCC ID HYQ 14 ABB which comes with 312.1 and 314.35MHz, the FCC ID on 3IS is HYQ14FBA (314.35MHz). Do you guys think it will work on 3IS? My car is 2016 IS300 AWD F2.
Thanks for any input.

So I’ve been trying to register this key and it isn’t working. I download techstream and have the cable and they’re pairing fine. But every time I try to register the new key it fails. Anyone have some insight? I have a 2014 IS250. I purchased the part number 8990453510 from a dealer on EBay...but they sent me 8990453511, would that make a difference?

I posted a guide on here a while back that will take you from idea to fully functioning if you follow it exactly.
I bought mine off Ebay for a reasonable price from a dealer in Florida.

This happened to me when I tried it the first time. I simply changed the battery in the card key. A weak battery will keep the card alive but will not be enough to program the car. Also during programming make sure all the other keys are FAR away and the card key with a fresh battery is right up against the start button then placed on the passenger seat with a clear line of sight to the start button.
